By Jack Ruttan in paintings, watercolorMy blog still seems to be working, but please bear with me as I upgrade it from the 1990’s version of WordPress. I’ll include links here to where this is officially going on the web, once I figure them out. This picture was more for Halloween, and was illustrating someone’s story. A much more famous […]

Trees and Kid
By Jack Ruttan in heads, men, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolourI’m watercolouring again. Using the cheap paper, but still, it’s good to get into things. I did the kid separately, and then digitally pasted him in. So, it’s a combination digital/watercolour work, if you want to be technical about it.
Watercolour Faces
By Jack Ruttan in color, Gouache, heads, Jack's House of Cats, men, montreal, paintings, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, watercolourI’m just putting this up to see how big the graphic is…. Not too impressive, eh? It’s relaxing sitting on the front balcony doodling faces and the passing scene outside. People go by, things go by, as James Agee put it… Watercolour takes a lot of work to get back to one’s level. Haven’t sold […]

April Blog
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, montreal, paintings, pencil, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolourHere we are, in my old-fashioned editor, putting up pictures from my sketchbook into my old-fashioned blog. I used to know how to write CSS, and make pretty styles for text and paragraphs. Not to mention the tags for these illustrations. Haven’t done much of that for a long while! I listened to a […]
Guest Cat and Random Bird
By Jack Ruttan in cats, color, Jack's House of Cats, paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourThings seen outside my friend’s back door window. Painted in watercolour in my cheap Dollarama sketchbook.
Childhood Dog
By Jack Ruttan in digital, dogs, paintingsDrawn in Clip Studio Paint on my old Huion Tablet. My childhood dog “Pimmy.”
Eastern
By Jack Ruttan in color, Gouache, heads, paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourI really hope that the little art shop in Chinatown near Clarke Street has survived. I like independent shops more than the big chains. Found cool stuff there, such as this book, and that brush. This is actually a face I did years ago, in black gouache, and just added colour to, today.
Watercolour Boy
By Jack Ruttan in color, paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourI saved my blog today. It’s a little bit dated, and I’ve got to go through and prune the links on the left hand side. But I’m still carrying on!
Bat Boy
By Jack Ruttan in digital, paintings, sketchesI’ve not been playing with the blog for a while, and something got broken. I’ve fixed that, and backed everything up, I think, so here’s another post! If this makes it to Instagram, I will be very happy.
Hot Lemonade
By Jack Ruttan in paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourThis is kind of cute, and seasonal. I’ve forgotten where it appeared, or what things were supposed to have gone wrong.
Various Pages
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, machines, paintings, pencil, sketches, watercolor, watercolourIt’s hard thinking of witty titles for these things. I’m putting up more pages. Not the stuff I did the other night when I couldn’t sleep. That was weird and also messy.
